the week was not favorable to activity. Of
ferings were about the usual amount, receipts
amounting to $40 cars. Shippers were nos
idle. but local millers were after the hard
wheat, and the best milling grades were
about all picked up at advances ranging from
I2c to lc. Shipments, los cars. Duluth re-
ported 80 cars on track. Futures on change
were slow. Local stocks are expected to in
crease 400,0 900 bu for the week. FOLLOWING

The Market Record says: Flour-The
market continued slow to-day in the face of
a small reduction in quotations. Dealers in
flour all over the country have now adopted
a conservative course that will not probably
be changed until after the holidays are well
over. They are figuring up business for
lv to
current demands upon them. Sales for the
week here have not equaled the output, but
there are few millers, if any, that are not
sold up, with orders to carry them over the
expected dizziness of the next few weeks.
They are quoting some 5610c lower than
few days ago. That is to keep abreast of the
decline in wheat, but for reasons stated it is
not expected 10 bring large orders. The Eng
lish markets have not taken much patent
flour from here ON this crop and that coun-
try is now exceedingly bare of Minneapolis
stocks. The indications are that in January
good trade III them viii arise The do
Def IRE as it has done on this crop. and, with
out foreign orders for them, they have gone
into consumption as fast as made Patents.

Bran and Shorts-The bran market is
weaker. That is, orders at the quotations
have fallen off, and few sales could have
been made at outside quotations to-day. But
the mills are all sold ahead, and the produc-
ton is about all going forward on such sales.
The asking prices were Sl3.1501j4 for bran:
